Application of the coded lone-pulse technique to studies of thermal balance in the ionosphere This project is a collaborative effort involving Geospace Research Inc. and Utah State University. The research plan has two components including radar observations of the ionosphere and an associated modeling effort. Incoherent scatter of radar waves produces two distinct signals: an ion line and a plasma line. Usually, radar experiments are performed using either one or the other, but a new technique partly developed by Geospace Research Inc. allows both ion line and plasma line to be measured simultaneously. The radar experiments are to be performed at Arecibo in Puerto Rico and with the EISCAT facility in Europe. The resulting data provides a comprehensive set of measurements of the density and thermal properties of the ionospheric plasma. When combined with modeling, the measurements will be used to study a number of difference processes that affect the observed behavior of the ionosphere.

应用编码孤脉冲技术研究电离层热平衡 该项目是 Geospace Research Inc. 和犹他州立大学的合作项目。 该研究计划有两个组成部分，包括电离层的雷达观测和相关的建模工作。 雷达波的非相干散射会产生两种不同的信号：离子线和等离子体线。 通常，雷达实验使用其中之一进行，但由 Geospace Research Inc. 部分开发的一项新技术允许同时测量离子线和等离子体线。 雷达实验将在波多黎各的阿雷西博和欧洲的 EISCAT 设施进行。 所得数据提供了电离层等离子体密度和热特性的一套全面的测量结果。 当与建模相结合时，测量结果将用于研究影响电离层观测行为的许多差异过程。
